About Me

Valerie Turton. Visual Artist currently working from a Studio @ Backlit Nottingham. Previosly based @ Surface Gallery Nottingham. Contemporary drawing is used as a Ritualistic practice to develop ideas that explore the notions of Tradition, Folklore, and Culture. Sculptural works express a direct link to the materials and found objects that represent these traditions and lifestyles.

My artwork is challenging the need to be commercial and the desire to be experimental and be brave.

I lack space, money and time............Still there seems to be the same need to make work !!
